Synopsis[]
Jimmy invents a small time remote. When he teases Cindy and Libby with his invention, Hugh asks to use it. When Hugh decides to go back 2 minutes, he types 2-0-0, and accidentally sends Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen 200,000,000 years in the past. Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen decide to make an invention to go back to their time. A T-Rex attacks, but they manage to hide under a giant mushroom, in the meantime Carl finds a Leptictidium, and names it Leppy. A pterodactyl grabs Sheen and takes him back to it's nest and there are two young pterodactyls.
Back in the present, Hugh uses Jimmy's invention for his own fun which annoys the people of Retroville. He goes to the Candy Bar, and disgusts Sam and all the customers by re-eating ice cream, re-drinking Purple Flurp, and burping for hours. He signs up for parachute school, but violates the school’s regulations when he refuses to use a parachute.
Jimmy, Carl and Leppy meanwhile are close to finishing up the invention, but they need diamonds for the last circuit relay so Leppy picks up the scent of where they might be able to find diamond. Meanwhile, back at the nest Sheen is having fun with the pterodactyls and the mother comes back and she knew it was time to leave the nest, so she pushes them off the nest. Luckily, Sheen is rescued by the baby pterodactyls and they set off to find Jimmy, Carl, and Leppy.
After a long time of searching, Jimmy, Carl and Leppy finally find diamonds, but the T-Rex attacks, and it prepares to eat Carl and Leppy. Suddenly, Sheen appears and saves Carl and Leppy on the backs of the young pterodactyls. Jimmy remembers that the Tyrannosaurus' skull is harder than steel, so they use the Tyrannosaurus to crack the diamonds. Unfortunately, the asteroid has crashed into the Earth, and it causes a big wall of fire spreading across the world to start the extinction of the dinosaurs extinction, causing the T-Rex to flee and run. The time portal is all set and Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Leppy jump in the time portal, and they make it back to their time, but Hugh is captured by an angry mob of citizens who carry him home and explain to Judy what he has done. First one is Sam, because he disgusted all of his customers by continuously re-consuming the same ice cream and the same purple flurp. Second one is Libby because he gave her, and Cindy brain freeze earlier. Third and final one is a pregnant woman that was ready to give birth, but Hugh used the time machine to make her give birth repeatedly, before she starts to cry. Judy then tells everyone that she'll handle it. Hugh is punished by being locked up in a cage. Jimmy thinks that he altered the timeline, but Judy tells Jimmy not to worry, she had put Hugh in a cage to keep him out of trouble and from annoying the townspeople of Retroville.
When Hugh is apologizing and Judy gives Jimmy back his invention knowing that it belongs to him, Leppy pushes a random button on the remote and Jimmy goes back to the time of the beginning of the first part of the episode and Jimmy ends the episode surprised, saying to himself: "Whoa. Deja-vu.".

Trivia[]
- The title for this episode is like the Jurassic Park title design. Some of the plot elements in the episode are also similar to the films, notably the Tyrannosaurus Rex that attacked Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl.
- This episode is similar to the short, "Cookie Time".
- This episode takes place after "Beach Party Mummy", since Libby was improving to her current design even though this and the previous episode were aired before that episode in the US.
- The T. Rex's appearance is more muscular and angular here than in "Cookie Time", where it had a more straight vertebrae and obtuse body, along with a cranium.
- When Jimmy said the theory that you have a stand still to a T. Rex was discredited, he meant that T. Rex has binocular vision and forward facing eyes and has very good eye sight, so they can still see you if you don't move.
- When Jimmy said they went back two hundred million years to the early Cretaceous Era, it was actually 65 million years ago. It should've been the Triassic Era.
- When the Pterosaurs were on the ground, they should have their fingers on their wings to support their weight.
- Sheen tried to calm Carl down by telling him a story. The next time he'll do this will be in "Who's Your Mommy".
- If Leppy re-winded the whole episode, then the proceeding probably didn't actually happen in the Jimmy Neutron universe because Leppy would have re-winded it again and again and again and the rest of these episodes after this one couldn't exist, or Jimmy could have changed the timeline resulting in this episode never happening.
- Sheen's line "Don't Move, Carl. It can't see you if you don't move." is from Jurassic Park, where Dr. Alan Grant says to Lex Murphy, "Don't move. It can't see you if you don't move".
- Sheen says "Yabba Dabba Doo" in one scene, which is Fred Flintstone's catchphrase.
- The boys running up the three accompanied by Hanna-Barbera "running" sound effects and then sliding down the T. Rex's tail is also a reference to The Flintstones.
- If Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen went back in time to prehistoric times while still being in Texas, they would have encountered a Dallasaurs and Acrocanthosaurus, instead of a T. Rex and Pteranodon.
- Leppy seems to have dinosaur feet and hands, when he is supposed to have kangaroo feet and rodent like hands.
- Sheen almost ate guano in this episode.
- Leppy's species, Leptictidium, never lived alongside the dinosaurs. In real life, Leptictidium first appeared in the Eocene, around 50 million years ago. The non-avian dinosaurs have already been wiped out in the mass extinction 15 million years earlier.
